Unexpected high-salary job emails may impersonate a real recruiter

An email claims to represent an executive search partner and offers a remote operations and executive-support role with a $200,000 compensation package. This example uses a free Gmail address while pointing to a profile associated with a large staffing firm, then asks for an updated résumé. Similar messages may use a lookalike or other unofficial domain that resembles the real firm's address. A familiar company name or real person's profile does not prove that the sender is genuine. Verify the opportunity through the firm's official website and contact details before sharing your résumé or personal information.

What to do

Do not reply with your résumé, identity documents, banking details, or other personal information until the opportunity is independently verified.
Find the firm's official website yourself and check whether the recruiter and job opening appear there.
Contact the firm through an address or phone number published on its official website, not through details in the email.
Do not pay for training, equipment, background checks, applications, or placement.
If you already shared a résumé or personal information, be alert for follow-up identity-theft or payment requests and change any exposed passwords.
